Reports <code>if</code> statements
that contain <code>else</code> branches and whose conditions are negated.
<p>Flipping the order of the <code>if</code> and <code>else</code>
  branches usually increases the clarity of such statements.</p>
<p>There is a fix that inverts the current <code>if</code> statement.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>
    void m(Object o1, Object o2) {
        if (o1 != o2) {
            System.out.println(1);
        }
        else {
            System.out.println(2);
        }
    }
</code></pre>
<p>After applying the quick-fix:</p>
<pre><code>
    void m(Object o1, Object o2) {
        if (o1 == o2) {
            System.out.println(2);
        } else {
            System.out.println(1);
        }
    }
</code></pre>

<p>Use the <b>Ignore '!= 0' comparisons</b> option to ignore comparisons of the <code>!= 0</code> form.</p>
